End of Winter Double Strand Infinity Scarf

This past weekend was pretty warm here, and by warm, I mean, it’s still January, and the temperature is above freezing. The snow is melting, and the magnolia next door is thinking about budding. But it’s still winter, and we can get hit by frigid temps and snowy weather any day, at least until April. So even though I’m already looking forward to Easter and spring and sunshine, there is still a need to stay warm.

Here’s a smaller sized infinity scarf (or cowl) that’s light yet cozy and will keep you warm and brighten your days until spring! This was worked using a classic V-stitch, crocheted in the round. For added bulk, use 2 strands of yarn held together.

Update: I made some minor corrections after some questions came up. There’s a round of sc before the V-stitches start. Then the number of V-stitch rounds is optional. I used 6, but you can work up as many or as little as you want.

Foundation: Ch 99 with 2 strands of yarn held together. Join with a sl st in the back ridge of first chain. This means you will twist the chain slightly in order to work into the back ridge or hump of the chain.

Round 1: Ch 1. Work 1 sc into each st around. Join to ch-1 with a sl st.

Round 2: Ch 3. Work 1 dc into same st as join. *Skip 2 st. Work (dc, ch 1, dc) in next st. This is one V-stitch made. Repeat from * around. Skip 2 st. Join with a sl st into 2nd chain of round. – 99 sts

At this point, count your stitches and make sure you still have the same number you started with.

Good Morning ChiWei, I can crochet, but it has been a long time since I have made anything, so I think this cowl type scarf would be perfect. I am going to give it a go, I will let you know how I get on.Best Wishes Daphne

It’s gorgeous, ChiWei – I LOVE these cowls. It saves me from having to figure out the most stylish way to wrap my scarf, LOL! We have full-on winter here this morning, the first “real” snow of the winter, so this would have been cute and handy this morning!! Blech!

I decided yesterday I was going to make myself an infinity scarf, cuz I’m tired of the added bulkyness of a normal scarf under my coat. So your pattern comes in at the right time. I think this smaller one will be better than the full infinity scarf you have, but which do you prefer? Now to get some yarn!

Hi Kathy! You can post pictures on a blog, or Flickr or a Picasa website or Instagram or Pinterest, anywhere that can be publicly accessible, so when you share it at the link party, everyone else can see what you made.

Help, I am wondering if I am a bit thick. But what is sc? the first round after the chain. I cannot find anyone else asking the question so I think somewhere I have missed it. Thanks so much. karen http://www.madewithmytwohands.blogspot.com

This is beautiful. I really should make me one too. Our party is live today, and we would like to invite you to link up and share this: http://thebusybhive.blogspot.com/ We would really appreciate it.Hope you have a great day!Thank!The Busy Bee’s,Myrna and Joye.

I was wondering if this could be worked up with an N hook instead of M. For some odd reason, I have everything but an M and I’m too lazy to go buy one unless I really need to. Or could this be worked up with just one strand of yarn using like an H or J?

Sure, you can use any size hook really – you just have to adjust yarn and gauge. The difference between an M and an N isn’t big enough to noticeably change the outcome. Working with 1 strand of yarn may make the scarf too small to be cozy, but it’s definitely doable!

I’m just getting into crochet and think this looks like a good first “real” project for me. You say two balls of worsted weight yarn. Can you expand on that with yardage or weight? I’m finding the amount of yarn needed for things to be the biggest mystery for me so far! Many thanks in advance!

I have made a few different cowls, but my first row is always too tight. When I get finished all the rows look great, but the first row sucks the rest of them towards it. I hope my description makes sense. The only thing I can think, is that I make the first 99 stitches too tight? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Hi Molly, That happens to me a lot too. I force myself to make the foundation chain really loose. Sometimes, I use a larger hook to make the chain, and then switch to the correct hook for the rest of the piece. I also rip out the first couple of rows, a lot, once I realize I made my chain too tightly, so yup, you’re not alone there!

I’ve been told I should do videos, but to be super honest, I don’t like the sound of my voice, lol. So I’ve always shied away from video. If I do venture into the deep water that is video, I will definitely share it!

I am almost finished with the cowl – coming out great! (present for my sister) Mine is definitley not as long as in the picture. Is it because this is the smaller size? Or is it because I am using a K hook or crocheting too tightly? Thank you! Fabulous pattern:)

Needing some help. I chain the 99. Make the sc row which is ch 1 and 99sc. Join to the ch1 and make a double crochet in that same join. Skip two sts…..then when I could to the end of that row I have 3 sc left before the join to start on the next row when there so be two sc. Any idea what I might be doing right?

Hi, I have just started your end of Winter Infinity scarf and I love the pattern. I have just started Round 3 and I am unsure whether I do the V stitch where it says “dc ch1 dc into the ch 1 space” which is the bigger space made from previous round where I skipped 2 stitches or the smaller space just under the ch 1 as they are both located close together. I have been doing the V stitch into the bigger space lower down – is this right? Please reply before I go any further. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I have made this scarf longer and I have 163 stitches and made it using a light grey bulky Bernat yarn and size 9 hook. Thanks again!
